the problem is the red, and not the color of the text red is a very bright color try this: look at the hero section for 30 seconds then look at a white wall avoid blinking when you do, btw

yeah i guess i cant really see the white parts after looking at the wall. only the black has some color.

and dont you see a weird effect on the wall too? i see it, and it's not pleasing try a darker red (may look really bad) or pick a different color or just change how the hero and footer look like

I don’t love the cursive text on top of the blocky text , it looks more like a mistake than an effect . Would also adjust the spacing/alignment of the project captions ; hierarchy makes us think proximity groups together so I thought the first photo and Joes Accounting were a group but upon further examination I looks like Manes photography belongs with the first photo ; it’s just so much further away my eye grouped Accounting with it instead . I would align the captions to the center of the image and make sure they are closer to the image instead of further away in a cell. And epic already mentioned the red colour , so wont pile on but have to agree on the red/orange colour. Look into the psychology of colours and think about what you’re trying to evoke - red is often danger or alarm and consumer brains have been programmed that way. I would choose another colour that makes your user more comfortable and at ease. So some keywords to walk away with and research further for ui/ux: - hierarchy - gestalt principles - psychology of colors

about the color, i was more going for "that is painful to look at" rather than the psychology of colors but it is a good point that i completely forgot about by the way, is there a live version?

Thanks for the feedback, will definitely adjust some things and play with other colors!

I know, agree that it’s painful but thought maybe looking further into what emotion op is trying to evoke could be helpful for choosing a more appropriate colour
